The spokesman of the Yemeni armed forces, Brigadier General Sharaf Ghaleb Luqman, accused the forces of the aggression of alliance, of targeting a Libyan oil vessel in Bab al-Mandab that was coming from Iran in order to gain international support for its possible escalation to target Hodeidah and the western coasts.

Brigadier General Luqman said in a statement to the Saba news agency that “the targeting the Libyan ship is a confirmed crime which we condemn and strongly denounce, because it is the same weapon and the same method of targeting that destroys the property of Yemen, including innocence ones. ”

“It is nothing new in what the alliance of aggression calls these lies to justify attacking Hodeidah, but strangely coincides with a public warning to the British government of merchant ships passing through Bab al-Mandab and the Gulf of Aden that they may be attacked by booby-trapped boats or by rocket-propelled grenades of Military “.

He pointed out that Britain, a superpower before it resorted to supporting the course of its interests with the forces of aggression was free to stand in front of the Yemeni scene more carefully and not involved in war crimes aimed at killing and starving the entire Yemeni people.

The spokesman of the armed forces said that the cheap means used by the forces of aggression to reach Hodeidah is a natural result of the fractures of its forces and its continuing defeats on all internal fronts and beyond the border.

He also stressed that the local and international public opinion is fully convinced of the absurdity of this unjust war against Yemen. It is also absurd to continue to charge the army and the popular committees with honor and pride for their territorial integrity and the dignity of their citizens and that they may pose a threat to maritime navigation and target civil commerce.

He pointed out that the operations of the army and the popular committees against the forces of aggression are committed to the traditions and the honor of the free fighters in not harming the civil interests. What is targeted is enemy warships when they enter Yemeni territorial waters only, warships that follow the forces of aggression and are in a hostile state towards Yemen and its people and land.
